"Well, old man, don't waste our time now, ehh~. You know you can't refuse the request of the transfer by the student, especially when another school already accepted it. Sign the papers~" Satoru Gojo kept taunting the old man, making the situation worse for everybody else, but there was nothing Gakuganji could do. 

He took his ink and proceeded to do as it was, while also speaking to Oiketsu, "So, it was your decision. May I ask why now?" He said without looking at me, trying to pretend that it didn't affect him at all. But I could guess his mind was in chaos. He'll have to explain everything to other elders. 

"It was solely my decision, because I simply believe I'll be able to learn more about Reversed Cursed Technique with those who actually have it." Otherwise, there was no logical reason from his point of view. I wasn't dissatisfied with teachings here, nor was I not happy with my classmates, honestly they were a great bunch to be around. But Kyoto is heavily tied with elders, and it is more conservative than Tokyo Jujutsu High, with Gojo Satoru around. 

"Well, of course, I cannot stop students from transferring. Although, it's a shame you haven't told me before making the request…" His eyes met mine. Gakuganji was angry, and I knew the first thing he'll do is to contact my clan. I'll have to expect persuasive attempts on their part… "I understand, you already know the consequences of your actions. I've signed what was needed, both of you are free to go. I'll appreciate it if you don't put former classmates against each other in an Exchange event…" 

"Whatever, old man. Let's go, Oiketsu." 

… 

"So, did you come all this way just to pick me up from the school and for the principal to sign the paper?"

Gojo Satoru was a weird person. Much weirder than anybody else who I've met so far, with the exception of Todo Aoi… either way, for a special grade sorcerer to come and pick me up from school, seems to be a rather kind gesture. Tokyo Jujutsu High made my transfer be successful and smooth at the same time, and I couldn't be not thankful about this matter. Hopefully, they'll be as welcoming to me in the school itself. 

"Well, I couldn't let them scare you into doing something stupid, right?" Gojo Satoru grinned. I understood that this man's whole purpose at the moment was to just change Jujutsu society, but he seems to be rather obsessed about it. "Besides, with the semester started, I wanted to sort things out before it was too late. I guess you made your decision right as the school started, otherwise you'd call before." 

"True, I cemented my thoughts when school started. I knew the more I stayed there, the more limited I was. I'm very thankful for your help, I don't know how much hassle you've saved me."

"Save the thanks for our principal, unlike the old geezers in the Headquarters, Principal Yaga is a man with morals. You'll enjoy your stay in Tokyo more than in Kyoto. Our school is so much more opportunistic than that of Kyoto!" The latter part felt like bragging, but I understand that Gojo is much better at scouting young talents and raising them than people in Kyoto. 

There was an almost special grade Hakari, whom I've had a confrontation with during the Kyoto Goodwill Event last year. Then there was also Yuta Okkotsu, the Special Grade sorcerer. Although Megumi Fushiguro is not a scouted asset, he is still allied with Gojo Satoru. I could continue naming every strong sorcerer affiliated with Gojo in one way or another, but that'll take a long time.

"By the way, you will be placed in the second year, along with four other students. Although you know one of them, Yuta is out of the country on a mission. You'll be given missions according to your grade, and I doubt we'll be able to really do much about your grade… I'll figure out something~" 

Being stuck on Grade Two for so long is frustrating, these clans don't even spend their own money, it's the government of Japan that funds them… but they refuse to put me up for recommendation. Gakuganji will solely oppose my candidacy for Grade One status, but Semi-Grade One might be in the realm of possibility. Much depends on how the Kamo clan reacts to this information. 

… 

"Okay, so, although I don't teach second years anymore, I'll still have some lessons with you on your blood manipulation and reverse cursed technique. That's what you wanted right?" Gojo read my mind in this case, of course, I wanted to be trained by the strongest sorcerer in the world. I nodded. 

"I believe your techniques have a lot of potential. As an expert in healing technique I can teach so much more about it~ But there's also Shoko, she is also very good with it. Nonetheless, we'll find out a lot about Blood Manipulation as well." 

I nodded at everything, "But who is teaching the second years?" I had no idea about the identity of who was going to be my teacher in the school. I haven't heard of anyone remotely famous, but knowing this school, the person must be strong enough. 

"Atsuya Kusakabe. You probably haven't heard of him much, but he is a Grade One sorcerer, formidable one at that. He doesn't possess an innate technique, but his knowledge about cursed tools is neat. You'll enjoy his teachings as well. Maybe not that much, since I AM your teacher as well." The huge grin was plastered across Gojo's face. 

We were on our way towards the classrooms. Gojo hadn't said much afterwards, just informed me that it was the last lesson for today for the second year and they'll be introducing me as another second year transfer from Kyoto. He knocked on the door of the classroom, they were probably having a homeroom. He didn't wait for the response, he simply opened the door and entered alongside me. 

Attention from the whole room was on us. The teacher was in the middle of the conversation, but he stopped when we entered. I even saw a big panda sitting in the classroom, I didn't think he'd be an actual student… 

"Hello everyone, I know you guys missed me! And I came here to deliver you great news, we have a new transfer student from Kyoto!!" Everyone's eyes widened for a brief moment, this wasn't something they expected. I understood they could hold some grudge towards me, because of my affiliation with Kyoto Jujutsu High and the Kamo clan… they most likely recognized me. 

"This is Oiketsu Kamo, the Grade Two sorcerer, he is very strong and attended Jujutsu school in Kyoto! He is more than qualified to be your classmate, hopefully, you will all get along!" His words weren't warmly welcomed, in fact, the teacher and the girl in the classroom looked dissatisfied with the news. 

"Kamo, huh?! What is a bigshot doing here?" I suppose this is the girl from the Zenin clan, the sister of Mai… both look similar, this one just has longer hair. Their attitudes must be annoyingly similar as well. 

Atsuya meanwhile remained a bit more collected, "Why wasn't I informed about this matter?" I know for a fact that this must be the teacher of Miwa. She has mentioned that her teacher was also teaching the second years in Tokyo. This is who she might've meant. 

"Well, it was a rather sudden decision. The principal was so worked up that he instantly made sure that Oiketsu would be transferred. You see, he is in a bit of a situation, treat him well and he'll respond in a similar manner. I guess that's it, familiarize yourself, Oiketsu. I'll leave now. Bye bye!" 

This was it. Gojo Satoru left, leaving an eerie silence. Everyone's eyes after Gojo left, turned to me. Now I had to somehow deal with this… Yeah, I guess, I should introduce myself better than Gojo did and get them to trust me. Do they think of me as a spy? That'll be hilarious if it comes out to be true. 

"Just as Gojo-san introduced me, I'm from the Kamo clan and I'm a Grade Two sorcerer. Though, he left out much information about me… which I should probably tell you before you begin to trust me. I transferred to this school to kind of isolate myself from the clan. I refuse to abide by their rules and principles… and I wanted to stand amongst people that want to change the Jujutsu Society.

That's how, I stand before you here with the help of Masamichi Yaga and Gojo Satoru… Hopefully, we'll become friends in the future. Thank you." 

…

"So, Kyoto student haaa?" Maki Zenin spoke rather aggressively, and nobody understood where that attitude came from. She was being rude to the new classmate, much differently when they first saw Yuta for example. This time there was some grudge induced in those words. Was it because of the rival school student status or because he was from the conservative clan? 

"Maki, please calm down." The most sensible out of the group was Panda who tried to calm her down, but all that was to avail. 

"Let's see who we will have to face during the exchange event. Let's fight!" She pointed at Oiketsu, essentially calling him out on a duel. Kusakabe on the side could only massage his temple at the scene. He wasn't against it, but they could've at least let him finish the homeroom event. Nonetheless, he allowed them to proceed. 

…

Now, at the training grounds of the Tokyo Jujutsu High, the second year class was all alone without the supervision of the teacher. Kusakabe had no nerve to supervise the energetic second years even there. They should be able to handle themselves either way. 

In front of each other, stood Oiketsu and Maki, the second one with her weapon armed while the first was with just his fists. This was an unexpected turn of events, because Maki expected the guy to at least have a weapon, but he didn't.

"Okay, let's set the rules of the duel first. No fatal attacks, don't go too hard on each other, don't attack after your opponent yields. Is that alright with both of you?" At Panda's question the two opponents nodded at each other. 

Maki directly looked into Oiketsu's eyes, whose nonchalant demeanor she disliked already, it was different even from Satoru's, not taking her as a threat in any way. "So what are you doing, pitying me by not having a weapon?" 

Oiketsu shook his head, "I don't use weapons, since I prefer to fight with fists." He'll have to face Maki's long spear with no weapons. From the perspective of others it seemed stupid, but in the worst case scenario, Kamo could always use the reverse cursed technique. Since there were no fatal attacks allowed. 

Maki raised an eyebrow, "I see, so you are a brawler. Did not expect that from the members of the Kamo clan…" Oiketsu would have to fight in melee, in which she excelled, but without grasping his skills it would be hard to predict the outcome of the fight. He was still a grade two sorcerer. 

At the moment, the only one with a higher rank than Oiketsu was Inumaki, who had a clan backing him and a powerful technique. 'Can he be stronger than me physically? I can't tell from his build, he is wearing rather loose attire.' The dark haired body was not that tall, around 180cm if she was correct, besides he was also rather slender looking. His height was a more dominating factor than beefiness. 

'He is probably a good cursed energy manipulator, and must be able to amplify his body's strength if he is a melee fighter without weapons.' 

"Okay, then, START!"
